Jets Beat: WR Omar Cooper Jr. has great return to lineup

Oct 19, 2026

There were not many positives for the Jets to take away from Sunday’s 26-19 loss to the Patriots, but they got another standout performance from one of their rookie first-round picks.

This week, it was Omar Cooper Jr.’s turn. The wide receiver returned from a high-ankle sprain to have a huge day for the Jets. Cooper had six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown in his first game since Week 1.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper was a popular name in dynasty drafts this past spring and was thought of as a later first round, or early second round pick in those formats. Unfortunately, his injury in Week 1 derailed him a bit but he's back on the fantasy radar after this past week's game. Cooper was thought to be a nice compliment to Garrett Wilson as the team's WR2. There's a good chance he's on your league's wire, and he's worth adding. However, maybe take a wait-and-see approach before inserting him right into lineups.

Tucker Kraft was walking a little gingerly, but he made his way onto the field to congratulate Jordan Love for his TD sneak. Kraft was still on the sideline, so Love took it himself to give #Packers a 17-0 lead.

Fantasy Impact:

Reports say Kraft took a hit to his thigh with his foot planted that seemed to affect his knee. Kraft missed a drive but was back on the field and finished with a 5-37-0 line on eight targets. It was great news he returned but may be worth monitoring this week in practice reports.

The Bears are expected to start Caleb Williams at quarterback Sunday against the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact:

Williams missed three games with a hamstring injury, but took the starter reps in practice this week and is ready to make his return to the lineup. The Bears got up and down play while Williams was out, though Case Keenum more than held his own against the Eagles in Week 3. Williams is our QB7 this week.

The Eagles are placing QB Jalen Hurts (blood clots) on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

This is ultimately the best move for Hurts and the Eagles. The most important thing for Hurts right now is to take care of his superficial blood clot in his calf. The Eagles discussed this with numerous doctors and experts and ultimately came to what was the best decision for all parties involved. This is about more than football right now for Hurts. It is unclear how long Hurts will be out for, but again, the important thing here is that he getting treatment and the Eagles believe this is treatable. As for the Eagles on the field, Tanner McKee will take over as the starting quarterback, beginning Sunday against the Panthers.
